Sleave – Homebound (Single) (Engineer Records)

Spread the love

Nature abhors a vacuum and following Morrisey’s recent
personal revelations regarding his loathsome political affiliations and beliefs
that broke the hearts of stupefied punk rockers around the globe, she stepped
into the breach and in an attempt to seal the former Smith’s frontman sized
hole in a million souls, Nature gave the world Sleave.

Taking the musical blueprint that the Smiths laid down more
than three decades ago, Slave add a ton of musical muscle and punk rock
credibility to their Manchester infused music by incorporating the energy,
passion and fire of Face to Face, Propagandhi and Hot Water Music into their
already infectious sound. Homebound is
the sort of tune that the Smiths would have written if they’d been angry punks,
had balls the size of watermelons and weren’t afraid to step into the breach
and embrace everything that was good about life while rallying against everything
that is inherently evil.

This tune has been on constant repeat for the last hour, and
if their forthcoming album is even half as good as Homebound promises it will be, then folks we could be looking at a
sure-fire contender for album of the year. But until said album does drop,
sometime during August, you’ll just have to make do with Homebound. It’s tough to be a punk when the soundtrack to the punk
rock life is this good, isn’t it? Tim
